Late start to Wimbledon for me.

I missed the first days play at Wimbledon, because I went to watch! (Thanks to Betfair for the invite - you still won't get any favours from me on here though ;) So it was a free day out, but was it really free? Probably not, it was most definitely expensive - with the biggest and most profitable tournament of the year on terrestrial TV, this is where I have made the most for the last 4/5 years. So, it wasn't an easy decision to go, but I do believe it is good karma to enjoy the spoils, there's an awful lot of people that would kill to get onto center court. Though apparently not some of the people in the box who had the US Open golf on, shocking!

Anyway, it's day 2 already, and I'm not even warmed up. I have an outright pick in the ladies after seeing her play yesterday, I can't see anyone getting past Serena, 3.8 yesterday was good enough for me (3.65 now). In the men's I'm on Fed and Murray from last week, Fed's price progressing well, Murray slightly backwards.

I watched Djokovic take on Benneteau yesterday, he looks a little fragile mentally at times, his body language was not confident in the first two sets, after that Benne got tired and Djoko's fitness looked unusually good. Effortless in the end, but lacked a lot when compared to Fed.

So many matches today, but first stop for me is the Chiropractor - is it me or do a lot of us bloggers have back problems? And isn't David Ferrer a little short against Kevin Kim (1.15/16) ? Maybe.
